University of Houston
Ambassadors
Mjt fltokattabow tkov and tell all
Everything that you could ever want to
know about University of Houston is known
by a select group of people. Who are they?
They are the University of Houston
Ambassadors. Do you remember those
upbeat people in the red and white shirts at
Cougar Preview? They knew the answer to
every question you had about the University
of Houston and knew how to get around this
campus without getting lost.
In 1984, the Office of Admissions and
Campus Activities formed the Ambassadors.
Their job was to show the prospective students and their parents around the University
of Houston and fill them in on all the advantages of attending UH. They also tried to
make transfer students feel better while they
were trying to get through their Transitions
program.
"Cougar Preview is our biggest event
because we can promote UH to many people
'Who's ready to go see UH?*
Students and parents attending the Cougar Preview 2001
wait for the UH Ambassadors to show them around the
campus. The Cougar Preview was one of the biggest
events for the UH Ambassadors because it was the best
opportunity they had to talk to prospective students and
tell them all about the many advantages of going to the
University of Houston.

all at once," said President David Edmonson,
a senior political science major.
Cougar Preview is held each semester;
this year it provided important information
to prospective students and their parents.
The one-day event included campus tours,
advising, and tours of residence halls.
Prospective students could also get their credentials evaluated for admission to the university all in one day.
"Cougar Preview was the deciding vote for
me between all of the schools I was considering. It was extremely informative and the
Ambassadors were very helpful," said freshman MIS major Krystal Agyemang.
The Ambassadors also guide the daily
campus tours, attended college nights, and
visited high schools to inform potential newcomers about the University of Houston.

Students take a last look around the campus as they complete their tour of the University of
Houston. The UH Ambassadors were particularly famous for their tours. They were the ones
who took prospective students and other visitors around the campus and showed them what
they were missing.
